Use the default Note tool to make a selection in the Tune graph. Select a single note by clicking on it or select multiple notes by clicking outside and dragging over the area you would like to select. The Select All button allows you to quickly select the entire curve with all its notes.

During the scan, Tune scans the track and applies default correction parameters for the construction of the correction graph. Choosing Select All is a convenient way to choose your own custom parameters rather than the automatic defaults. Once all segments are selected you can change the Segmentation and Correction Parameters.

When you are satisfied with the segmentation settings, you can increase or decrease any of the Correction Parameters for tighter or more relaxed correction. The results are animated and auditioned in real time. Once you are happy with the overall correction, you can make local adjustments to sections or individual notes using the Correction Parameters and Graphic Tools.
